Glorious mussels and Kerala curry at The Glorious Oyster - a charming eatery nestled in the dunes of Instow. The freshest of fish and a perfectly curated menu of dishes alongside local ciders, sweet treats and hot drinks. Just off the Tarka Trail it’s a great place to stop off for a relaxed lunch
A beautiful little laid back spot tucked away in the dunes! Such a nice vibe, lovely people and service and great food-the crab sandwich is excellent!
Fantastic little tropical shack round the corner from the beach at Instow. Staff are all really friendly and the atmosphere is great. Good selection of food and drink, and the fish finger sandwich is the best I've ever had. Dog and family friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely return.
Love this little place! Had the fish finger sandwich and an oyster for good measure, if I wasn’t full I would have tried some other dishes too. Really lovely staff and ambience and imagine this is fantastic in the summer months.
A must visit if you are in Instow. It's got a great vibe, even on a grey cloudy November day with an eclectic mix of music playing whilst you have refreshments. The choca mocha's were terrific, and the crab sandwiches were out of this world, and coupling it with pickled beetroot is inspired. There is fresh water available if you have a dog with you. establishment.
A fantastic place to eat. The food was delicious. We had oysters, mussels, the curry and a fish finger sandwich. The oysters and mussels were very fresh. The curry was superb and the fish finger sandwich was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and happy. They made me and my family feel very welcome. We will definitely return.
Simply love this little place ..I come for the Tunes on the Dunes and music events here when I can and just when visiting Instow. My favourite Pitt stop. They serve a great range of non alcoholic drinks as well as I'm always driving from Water Kefir by Piqi who are local and botanicals. Love their Keralan curry especially the fish one and the mussels are always good. Fish finger sandwich another good one as is the crab sandwich...all so yummy and reasonably priced and served with love and care. Lovely team.
